The Securities Arbitration Law Firm of Klayman & Toskes Launches Investigation on Behalf of Groupon Shareholders Who Held Large Concentrated Positions in Groupon Stock With Full-Service Brokerage Firms15:39 EST Wednesday, January 02, 2013
NEW YORK (Business Wire) -- The Securities Arbitration Law Firm of Klayman & Toskes, P.A. (“K&T”), www.nasd-law.com,
announced today that it is investigating claims on behalf of Groupon,
Inc. (NasdaqGS: GRPN) shareholders who sustained investment losses due
to an over-concentration of shares in Groupon stock. Since February
2012, the price of Groupon dropped about 80% and is currently trading at
about $5.00 per share. As a result of this decline, Groupon shareholders
who held large concentrated stock positions in Groupon have sustained
substantial losses.
Since 2000, K&T has pioneered the representation of High Net Worth
(“HNW”) and Ultra-HNW clients who sustained investment losses as a
result of holding large concentrated positions in a single security or
sector, in a full-service brokerage account. The clients we represented
and continue to represent include founders of public companies and key
employees from virtually every industry who received large grants of
stock, Rule 144 restricted stock or stock options. The claims, filed in
the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) Arbitration
Department f/k/a NASD and NYSE, focused on the mismanagement of the
clients' portfolios given the fact that there were risk management
strategies that would have protected the value of the concentrated
portfolio. Such risk management strategies include stop loss and limit
orders, protective puts and collars. Stop loss orders, limit orders and
protective puts provide an account with downside protection and an exit
strategy should the stock decline in value. A hedge strategy, known as a
“zero cost” collar, would have created a range of value that the
portfolio would have maintained irrespective of the fluctuation and
direction of the underlining stock price. The failure to use risk
management strategies as well as the failure to “hedge” the value of a
concentrated portfolio directly exposes an investor's concentrated
position to the fluctuations in the volatile securities markets.
The attorneys at K&T are dedicated to pursuing claims on behalf of
investors who have suffered substantial investment losses. K&T, an
experienced, qualified and nationally recognized securities litigation
law firm, practices exclusively in the field of securities arbitration
and litigation. If you wish to discuss this announcement or sustained
losses of $750,000 or more as a result of holding a concentrated
position in Groupon stock in a full-service brokerage account, please
